Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Haven't made any, so can't break them - unless I decide to make a few at this very moment. That would break my new year's resolution (as in not making any) - but ... it's no longer new year 
hence can't make any new year's resolutions, hence can't break any
Love it when a plan comes together
First year I can stick to it

I made the decision years ago to only make one new year resolution. and that was to never make any new year resolutions.

"Eat a little less, move a little more", said Doc, so 2kgs so far and walked 'til I'm breathless twice a day Bit awkward with all the mud around here though, you should see the state of my boots and trousers Mud to the knees, and I ploutered around footpaths that were 6 inches deep in water.
Why? what resolution did you make yourself Kris?
cheers,
Toddy

Yeah, I broke the one I made immediately!
I also made that "don't make any resolutions for the new year" resolution. But in doing it, I also then broke it.
This year, I also sent my resolution in to the local TV news program. They featured it on the 6 o'clock news! Here's what I sent in:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I resolve to not make any resolutions for the New Year.
Rats, broke that one already!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was "famous" for all of 10 seconds. So it goes.

Well since my resoloutions were of the nature of getting out to do things instead of not doing things, I haven't as yet broken anything.
That's it, I'm doing more 'ploutering' this year, whatever that might be
I've been taking my print out of winter twigs when I go out so that I can have a guess
what the trees are, without cheating (if I happen to already know or suspect what the
local trees are). I'm probably going to get lots of odd looks from the locals...
Really I'm just continuing with last year's plans of learning a bit more about plants.

Mine was to learn to spin on my grandmothers spinning wheel that I've semi inherited .... and with Toddy's advice I'm slowly getting there ..... chuffed to bits I am.

Ploutering
You know that sort of awkward, trying to keep your balance on wet leafy, muddy ground and then it gets really wet underfoot, kind of walk? that's ploutering. It's wet, muddy, splashy, slippy......it's actually a lot of fun
cheers,
Toddy

Mine was to get out more.
As I had an operation on my knee yesterday (Torn cartilage) I will be breaking that (at least for a while!)

I made one quite a few years ago and have never broken it
It was ,,,,,,,,,, NEVER make another resolution

My new years resolutions (I don't usually make them) were things I hope to accomplish at some point during the year, giving me a whole year to get them sorted out.
So far I'm already well on my way to achieving one of them - read alot more than I have been doing over the last couple of years. I'm on my 4th book already and loving it I don't know why I lost interest in reading, it seems a bit silly

mine and my misses resolution got broken at about 11am on 01/01/08, when she came off her mountain bike crossing the tramtracks, resulting in a dislocated shoulder, and no feeling or movement in her hand or arm.
she is getting feeling back slowly but no movement, and is getting depressed, unsurprisingly.

resolution to learn some skills this year, but still workin in holland so not much chance of meeting up and learning how to do things the RIGHT way. Well not til may at least so if anything on then in manchester area, I'll sign right up
There were a few of us going to organise a bit of a get together in this area (we're just over t'hill from you) but at the mo the weather's just tooo grim! Maybe by May it'll have stopped raining
I'm another one who doesn't make resolutions so can't break any
Working with wood certainly does sound appealing, also byproducts, i.e. making charcoal, using ash for soap, what woods are good for which applications. So yes, I'd love to attend. May be able to marry it with a course attended at Penistone around may/ june time (weather permitting)
